Where am I?

Just a quick note-- I'm going to see how having a meeting at Starbucks of West Hartford CT (Albany Avenue section) would work out. Meetings will be held at 3 pm, Sundays, weather permitting. (I'm in a wheelchair, so I hope you understand)

A View From Obama

A few day's later, how fresh it all seems! I know, I know, for some of us it all seems a bit wearying, but look past the hype and look at the real substance we face:

• a freeze of all salaries that are $100,000
• a tremendous curtailing of lobbyists
• a real open door who want to see what is going on in Washington

There are a quibbles, to be sure. But on the whole, it looks great.

In a couple of days, I will have my first blog out. In the meantime, here"s what one person said:

There is such a flood of precepts and so few examples - so much preaching, advising, rebuking and reviling, and so little doing.

First of all, hello, Forres!

When the youth of America gets together, amazing things happen. College campuses were once a hotbed of political activity. Students of the 60s were responsible for great changes, politically and socially. The youth movement launched and defined what we've become since the 60s. I would like that happen again.

Happy New Year!!! OK, I realize it's been awhile since I've posted, but here's a brief one.

I recently started To Quote a Queer, and have found it tremendously enjoyable. I will occasionally share a quote from here. Hope you find it it either profound or hilarious - or both.

I am gay, black, British, smart, dumb, patronising, stubborn, all these other things - flawed in many ways - and I am now asserting my activism.
